Darn, I thought so... hmm. Maybe I'll rip out my old HD from my iPod that has OS X installed on it... would that work, are they the same size drives?

on second though... i just hooked up my ipod and attempted to reinstall os x onto the ipod... maybe my harddrive is bad and NOT my logic board? Possible? The harddisks do make a VERY large amount of noise when I attempt to restart... maybe that is why when it asked me where I wanted to install OS X, it only showed my ipod and didn't show my ibook's HD... possible? What do you think?
